Canto

 1     2|   blade;~And he puts forth his buckler made of bone,~And well with
 2     2|      LIke carbuncle, the magic buckler blazed,~No glare was ever
 3     4|      pious care;~Take my steel buckler, this I give to thee,~And
 4     6|         Black was the vest and buckler which he bought,~Where green
 5     6|       pierced back a palm; his buckler flung~Before him, and next
 6     7|          And took the wondrous buckler, which, espied,~Not only
 7     8|        shorter way it were~The buckler, old Atlantes' work, to
 8    10|   pouch, wherein was dight~The buckler, and the covering torn aside,~
 9    10|         for he~Feared lest the buckler's light should be impaired,~
10    10|    with lime;~So the enchanted buckler overthrows~The orc, reversed
11    11|       him they saw no covering buckler brace,~Uncuirassed, nor
12    14|      nose.~The paynim, safe in buckler lifted high,~Scorns not
13    16|     rear~The knightly helm and buckler at his side;~As one who
14    16|    list,~Though planted in the buckler's nether part.~Let those
15    16|  higher.~ ~ XLVIII~Nor did the buckler so the weapon stay,~Though
16    17|     best;~And levelling at the buckler of the peer,~For greater
17    17|      more white~Than milk, his buckler, surcoat, arms, and crest;~
18    18|        Poor child, who of that buckler left thee heir.~ ~ CXLIX~"
19    19|        mail below;~But first a buckler, solid and well prest,~A
20    22|       stroke to fear:~I of the buckler speak Atlantes made,~Of
21    22|    height;~I say the enchanted buckler, which, too sore~For human
22    22|        where~The border of the buckler joined the sight,~Who seemed
23    22|     off the rest, and made the buckler blaze:~The splendour struck
24    22|        concealed the enchanted buckler's ray:~And to the maid restored,
25    26|        who thought to make his buckler fly,~Cursed heaven as loudly
26    30| refrain~From claiming Hector's buckler as his due;~Nor yet Gradasso
27    30|    grieve~That he the blazoned buckler bear or leave.~ ~ XXXV~"
28    30|     Whence Mandricardo had his buckler cast.~ ~ LXIV~He the left
29    30|     famous sword,~The blazoned buckler, and its bird of snow,~And
30    30|      bed the Tartar's arms and buckler gay,~So bade the Moorish
31    31| unhorsed by such a stroke,~His buckler in the cruel shock is broke.~ ~
32    31|       the warrior's train,~His buckler braced, his biting faulchion
33    32|        at the pommel hung --~A buckler from the damsel's saddle
34    32|       If when King Charles the buckler shall receive~And give to
35    32|      belong.~For me the golden buckler shall retrieve~One of you
36    32|      bold,~Resolved to win the buckler, or to die~Beneath his hand
37    32|      foresees~That through the buckler by that damsel brought,~
38    33|        overthrown?~Say, if the buckler one of these requite,~--
39    36|      of her foe:~He raised the buckler to defend his head,~And
40    39|       who -- couched below~His buckler -- on the madman would break
41    41|      ashore.~Sobrino rears his buckler, to withstand~The furious
42    42|      blazes bright;~And goodly buckler, tempered corslet thrills,~
43    43|        with my head, as with a buckler, stayed:~For little ill
44    44|       behind.~ ~ CIV~He by the buckler knew as soon as spied~The
45    46|       Or e'er donned sword and buckler, the most fair~And gentle
46    46|     and chain.~A pillow of his buckler had he made,~Where the white
47    46|   Rogero guides, and that good buckler -- though~Well steeled within
